The correct answer is A.

A regressive tax is applied uniformly to all taxpayers. Therefore, every person pays exactly the same, but such payment means a higher burden for those taxpayers with a lower income. If you earn 100, paying 1 as tax doesn't mind a lot to you, but if you earned 10 it would mind much more.

The most important regressive tax is the value added tax (VAT), in which a certain percentage of the price paid for a product is charged on top as a tax. If you buy rice, the percentage charged as VAT is the same for all consumers, but that amount of money would mean more to a humble shop owner than to the US president, for example.

Ivenika [448]
The southern colonies (and the colonies in the Caribbeans) required slave labor and indentured servants to maintain plantations that grew valuable crops such as sugar canes and tobacco. Harvesting these crops were often labor intensive that many free workers were unwilling to do without high wages that plantation owners did not wish to pay. These crops could only be grown in the south (or the Caribbean) due to the soil and climate.
